Office Romance with a Werewolf - Chapter 91
Elves also exist in this world.
Just like werewolves who are peacefully working at CTC, elves are much more likely to be hired by supernatural companies due to their adroitness than those who are only good with their muscles.
This supernatural being looks so much like a human being that they don’t need to make much of an effort at shape-shifting or disguise. Although they are extremely beautiful.
It’s the same with some humans; they have a slim, athletic, or muscular build and an hourglass figure. They have leaf-shaped ears that they can hide with a hat or their long hair. They are hairless (except for their heads, eyebrows, and lashes) and have completely smooth and wrinkle-free/infinitely way beyond the ultimate, flawless, perfect soft soles and palms, with also impossibly soft and smooth skin for the entire body.
Daniel’s secretary can also be described with the above description, but the only difference is that she is a dark elf. An elf with beautiful curly black hair, black eyes, and dark skin.
Pina is beautiful and alluring, but in a world where white is perceived as good and beautiful, being dark becomes automatically the opposite of it.
Dark elves are also one of the races that are unjustly judged by their just having dark skin, black blood, and dark attributes.
They misjudged them as being evil because they are born as dark-attributed creatures.
They are shunned just because of their color, disregarding the fact that they are also beautiful and flawless.
Pina was full of hatred and disgust towards the races who had such prejudices towards dark creatures, but she eventually witnessed another side of the world after meeting Daniel.
Pina admired Daniel the most, not because he was also on the side of the dark attribute creatures and their guardian and priest, but because he could stand firm with everyone and prove that the color of his power was not important.
Supernatural beings, especially the deprived dark beings, admired and respected Daniel so much that they were willing to be loyal and serve him, but Daniel didn’t give everyone the perk of serving him. He only reveals his real identity to a few select people. Pina is one of the fortunate few to know Daniel’s identity.
She is happy to be serving him, but at the same time, she is also tired of the difficult and harsh tasks that his boss typically performs in his job.
“This is going to take a long time! I’ll definitely ask for overtime pay!” she shouted as she crawled while being blown by a strong wind.
“He should pay me extra pay for these tasks!” She grumbled while her hair was going into his mouth because she opened her mouth from shouting.
The strong wind kept on blowing directly into her while she tried to hold on to the ground with her claws.
“I feel like the trees are mocking me.” She said
She feels like the trees around her are looking down on her.
“J-just let me in!” She exclaimed, without giving up, and gritted her teeth to stick herself to the ground so that she wouldn’t fly away.
She shouted as she looked ridiculous as she was the only one in the middle of jungle crawling while being blown by a strong wind concentrated on her.
Some of the trees around her are not even moving their branches.
She’s been trying to enter the center of the jungle, but the wind is not letting her freely approach the world tree.
Her task is to talk to and ask for help from the tree that is the mother of all cores that make all supernatural beings exist. She’s the beginning and end of every supernatural being.
It’s almost impossible for a living person to meet her.
You can’t meet her unless you die.
It’s a mystery to Pina how Daniel knows the world tree’s location and teleports her directly to her. And why does she have to be the one facing her, not Daniel directly?
She has a lot of questions, but she has no time for her mind to wonder.
“I need to do well. Sir Daniel must be in pain now for using the teleportation spell!”
She lifted her head and narrowed her gaze toward the gigantic tree as she prepared her lungs to shout once again.
“Goddess Mila is in danger! One of her wolf tries to seal her inside his own spatial spell! ” Pina shouted as she tried to stay still and not be blown away.
She yelled with all her might for the tree to hear her intention, which was unnecessary because the world tree can see and know everything but chooses not to intervene in any of it because intervening in fate will result in nothing but trouble.
“The wolves will lose their guardian!” she shouted once more, but later she could feel the wind becoming less violent until it all disappeared.
Pina brushed off her clothes that got dirty from crawling on the jungle floor. And her gaze was drawn to the massive, majestic tree that had been alive for thousands of years.
“Thank you for letting me approach you. And I am sorry for disturbing your peace. ” She respectfully bobbed a curtsy and, even though she was in awe of the beauty of the tree, she still needed to do her task, even though it would offend the great being.
She wants to straightforwardly ask for help, but she doesn’t know how to talk to the tree.
“It’s my first time meeting you, but how can we talk, ma’am? sir?” She asked because it was her first time meeting the ancient being. She won’t have any chance to meet the legendary tree of life, if only because of Daniel.
She doesn’t even know how to address the tree.
Brrr bbrrrr kkrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“AH!”
A branch suddenly moves down and is acting like it wants to wrap around her. That is why she jumped back by reflex to move and get away from it.
bbbrr bbbrr bbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
“AH! Talk! Talk! I just want to talk!” she tried to get away from the branch that kept extending toward her. But the more she moves away, the more branches come after her.
“Aaaaaaaaa,” she screamed once a branch finally caught her and moved her upward.
“Relax child.” Pina was startled when she could now hear the voice of the tree.
The world tree is a tree that oversees everything. Despite knowing all, it does not intervene in anyone’s life on earth unless something might affect the balance of the world.
Although they expected that the world tree might already know their intention, she was ordered to come and talk to it so that they would have a result sooner.
“Please help us.” He softly said as she closed her eyes in fear.
Even though her eyes are shut, she can still feel her body being mobilized in an upward direction.
The branch is taking her into the top crown of the tree.
“The wolf… the wolves…” The tree only mumbles her response as if she was still thinking about what she should do.
Because of its great height, Pina slowly opens her eyes as she takes a while to reach the top.
“Can I meet her on top?” She wonders if she could only have a grandiose voice and not a physical body.
“Wait? Does she have a physical body or is this tree her body? ” She kept wondering if she could finally reach the top, which looked like a “huge bird nest” full of gems.
“Oh my goodness!” Pina’s eyes sparkled along with the sparking things inside the gigantic nest.
“Do not covet what is not yours.” A lady in black suddenly appears and menacingly looks at her, warning her not to touch her gems.
The lady was releasing such a portentous aura that it made Pina nauseous.
The lady is not showing any parts of her body as she is wearing a black long gown, long gloves, and a veil that makes it impossible to even see her face.
The lady is looking like a mourning person, and Pina can’t believe that it’s the world tree’s appearance that is known to be a tree full of life.
“What? Disappointed with my appearance? ” The lady sat on top of the pile of gems while she admired some of them.
“I know, I know. You living people are expecting me to lock in dreamy beauty. ”
“Ah, No way!It’s not that, ma’am! I was just wondering if the tree is you or if it’s just your home. ”
Okay, so I’ll answer your question, but I’ll only answer one question. After that, I will send you home. ” The lady said as she twirled some diamonds in the air.
Oh, no!No way!Never mind my curiosity! My purpose here is to ask for help! Sir Daniel said that you could help! ” Pina panicked as the chance of getting help was almost slipping away from her.
“Haaa.” The lady in black suddenly let out a sigh and let the diamonds roll out onto the floor after she reluctantly let them go.
“I’ll definitely charge the world tree of Mundo’s planet.”
“Mundo?”
“Yep, the Earth counterpart.”
